Naeem Khan dresses up the first lady as “Indian, chic, simple but very glamorous”

Well…the title says the goal Naeem Khan had…read on to know more…

India born US based designer Naeem Khan took the opportunity to dress up Mrs Michelle Obama on Tuesday night for the first state dinner held by her husband’s administration. She looked gorgeous in a gleaming silver-sequined, flesh-colored strapless gown with beads all over forming an abstract floral pattern that was custom-made by Naeem Khan. She also wore a matching wrap, a stack of bangle bracelets on her wrist and dangling earrings.

The first couple was host to the guest of honor Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his wife, Gursharan Kaurat at the dinner. So the choice of Mrs Obama for an Indian designer went just so well with the whole occasion. Hal Rubenstein, fashion director of InStyle magazine said he was impressed that Mrs. Obama used her fashion knowledge to choose a sophisticated and regal style that paid homage to India.

Mary Tomer, author of the new book “Mrs. O: The Face of Fashion Democracy” appreciated Naeem saying that, “I think she looks fabulous. She walked out in something that’s figure-flattering and chic. Naeem’s work is known for glamour and embellishment and this dress seems to embody that. She’s sparkling and radiant.”

Mrs. Obama’s gown took three weeks at the designer’s family workshop in India — with 40 people working on it — to complete, Khan said.

With all praises for Mrs Obama’s look and much appreciation for his work, Naeem is certainly going places. Great job Naeem…as usual…!
